    #1 issue in animal production right now?

    Well well well - oddly enough today 2/1/11 Oprah is having a show on going Vegan.  It will be very interesting to hear if she can capture the true story and both sides.  Some of you folks should tune in if your schedule allows.

    #1 issue in animal production right now?

    I think the bad publicity received in the media is the #1 issue.  There are far too many people that live in the city that don't have a clue about what goes into making their food.  Those people still have a vote and an opinion.  The media many times is the only outlet for those people to form...

    Simmental bull NLC Upgrade at Genex

    Thanks for the info jackpot.  I know for me this information helps a bunch as he's one I've been eye balling but could never afford him.  A couple of questions if you don't mind - 1). What type of cow did he work best on?  2).  What type of frame does his cattle have?

    Right Turn in Kansas City Part 2.....NOW UP!

    The coolest part of that video and one of the more refreshing things to me was to see Macy and how hard she works.  That girl is going to be DANGEROUS with a comb and clippers someday.  Cool video Brad.  Sign me up for the Goretska fitting videos.

    Griswold Cattle sale today?

    I'm in the same boat.  ;D  That's usually dead bull prices.

    Griswold Cattle sale today?

    Wow.  Was hoping it would get cheaper this year.  Are folks getting a good return on investment with their Steel Force semen?  I assume they must be or the price would be going down.  Hats off to Griswolds.  The marketing of the bull is nothing shy of genius.

    Best Simmental Bulls right now

    Wow great summary Linz.  Grandmaster is another bull I really want to use.  How do those calves come and how do they grow?  What kind of cows have you used him on?  Thanks.

    Best Simmental Bulls right now

    What do folks think of Chopper?  I thought Griswolds have some nice Choppers in their catalog.  Check them out here: http://www.gcccattle.com/ Seriously considering using him this year.  I would like to use Steel Force but I can't justify the $200/unit.

    Exciting Times at Agribition

    What a crock.  Pumping is not necessary.  If your cattle can't make the adjustments, then they shouldn't be winners.  Pumping should be illegal and IMO it is morally and ethically unacceptable.  Pumping should ONLY occur if the animal needs it to survive.  I bet that 90% of the time that it's...

    Iowa Beef Expo

    I agree Dusty.  We had trouble getting our chute inside last year because of space.  I hate being crammed in.  In fact, I question every year why we go.  I'm in the same boat.  If the weather isn't good enough, there's no way we'll go because we stall in the tie outs. Wonder if the space...

    Iowa Beef Expo

    Last year, we registered online.  I can't remember when the online registration process started, but I'm pretty sure it's early now.  I would take another peek after the 1st of the year or mid January.

    Costs of owning a beef heifer?

    It sounds to me like you've got a tremendous deal.  If you are getting feed, place to keep them, AIing, and expertise of someone that knows what they are doing, then $30/month is cheap - depending on what and how much they are getting fed but assuming they are getting fed a good, balanced diet...

    Muscatine Iowa Sales

    Can you PM me with the problems too?  I would like to know as I've seen a few that I like in the catalog.

    Guaranteeing Cattle to win really?????????

    That explains price, but IMO that doesn't make it OK to make guarantees to a kid.  That's used car sales tactics there.
